Dear Client, In case you are not a victim of your own fault, then you can hope for a refund of your hard-earned money which is confiscated for fraudulent and unauthorized transactions reported to the Cyber Crime Cell. Once a cybercrime scam or fraudulent transaction is reported online to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP), on the instruction of the Cyber Crime Cell, the investigating team starts the routine process of investigation immediately instructing the concerned Bank to freeze the victim's Bank account and on receipt of instruction from the Cyber Cell, the Bank makes the debit freeze of the victim account putting a lien on it. You have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency to unfreeze or operate your bank account. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigators, and the cooperation of the victim. Please keep in regular contact with the Cyber cell and the Bank and extend your full cooperation in the investigation to resolve the matter at the earliest. Recently, the division bench of Bombay High Court in the ofJaiprakash Kulkarni and Ors Vs. The Banking Ombudsman and Ors(Citation - 2024:BHC-OS:8627:DB), held that the customer has zero liability when unauthorized transactions occur and directed the Bank of Baroda to refund the amount to the customer debited due to cyber fraud. You may consult with a cyber crime expert or an Advocate handling cyber laws for further guidance and suitable steps.
